Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 555 - 164: Dramatic Increase in Strength!

"Erniu’s talent in the Sword Dao is indeed astounding!"

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but express his admiration!

He relied on his own talent in the Sword Dao to completely transcend the limitations brought by his Spiritual Root.

Otherwise, how could he, with a High-Grade Spirit Root, be unable to cultivate to the Middle-Stage Core Formation at the age of one hundred and forty?

Even with an Earth Spirit Root, it would be difficult to achieve.

"By the way, what about Shun’er and Xiuyin?" Wang Erniu then inquired about his family.

"Xiuyin and Shun’er’s cultivations are quite similar, both are currently at the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishnt, with a chance to breakthrough to Core Formation in the future,"

"As for Youhe, he remains at the Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishnt. Without an opportunity, he may be stuck at the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishnt as his highest possible cultivation!"

Zhou Xun did not hide this and told Wang Erniu the situation of his family mbers.

"Alas, each generation has its own blessings, achieving Foundation Establishnt has already surpassed ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the world!" Wang Erniu sighed.

"By the way, Erniu, I ca here for another matter, regarding the Sword Shadow Unification Technique!" After chatting for a while, Zhou Xun ntioned his other purpose.

"I am close to the third layer of this technique. I am just a step away but unable to find my way in!"

"You are a Sword Cultivator. Could you instruct ?"

Zhou Xun said slowly!

"What, you’re about to break through to the third layer of this technique, brother?" Wang Erniu exclaid in surprise,

At the sa ti, he gained a deeper understanding of Zhou Xun’s talent.

One should know, even he, dedicated as a Sword Cultivator, barely broke through the third layer several years ago during the Human-Demon War.

And Zhou Xun, whom he knows well, has proficiency in several skills, yet he didn’t expect his accomplishnts in the Sword Cultivator path to be of this level!

"If brother had solely cultivated in the Sword Cultivator path, who knows what heights he might have reached!"

After a mont of emotion, Wang Erniu began to recount his experience of breaking through the third layer.

"In the Dao of the Sword, one must....."

Zhou Xun listened, enchanted, as sword shadows unconsciously erged around him, surrounding him, instantly destroying the furniture layout in the reception hall!

Seeing this, Wang Erniu was startled and hurriedly said:

"Brother... Brother... stop quickly!"

Zhou Xun stopped his spell, looked at the devastated hall, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly,

"I got too excited for a mont and almost destroyed your Cave Mansion!"

"Is there any suitable place in the city for practice?" Zhou Xun asked,

He had a feeling at this mont that he was capable of performing the third layer of the Sword Shadow Unification Technique,

dividing into eighty-one sword shadows, and then rging them into one.

"The practice fields in the city are used by Foundation Establishnt and Qi Refining Cultivators. With your strength, brother, you might destroy those practice fields!" Wang Erniu explained.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded.

"If that’s the case, why not venture outside the city? The world outside is vast, should suffice!"

"Outside the city sounds suitable!" Wang Erniu also seed to agree.

Then the two left the Cave Mansion and exited Sea Suppression Immortal City, arriving at an uninhabited island tens of thousands of miles away.

"Let it be here!"

Zhou Xun scanned the surroundings, then rose into the air,

patting his waist, a long sword of blue and purple flew out, it was Zhou Xun’s Profound Thunder Sword.

Zhou Xun ford a spell with his hands, pointed at the Profound Thunder Sword, and saw the sword flash with light,

Soon after, a series of sword shadows divided and erged!

"Twenty!"

"Thirty!"

...

He continued until a total of eighty-one sword shadows had erged, and then he stopped!

"Eighty-one sword shadows; halfway through the third layer of the Sword Shadow Technique!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly,

Then his spell changed,

"Sword Shadow Unification"

Those sword shadows started spinning around the Profound Thunder Sword, then rged into it one by one!

Each fusion increased the Thunder Sword’s power!

With all eighty-one shadows rged, its power doubled, turning the entire Thunder Sword into a milky white,

yet it trembled slightly!

As if unable to withstand the load!

"Go!"

Zhou Xun lightly pointed his finger towards the island below!

The Thunder Sword transford into a stream of blue light, heavily bombarding the island below!

"Boom!"

A thundering noise resounded, accompanied by hundreds of feet of rubble flying, the entire island engulfed in a huge cloud of gray mist!

When the mist cleared, the once ten-mile wide island was reduced to less than a third, with much of it gone!

"This level of power unquestionably reached the Nascent Soul level!" Zhou Xun was overjoyed,

But soon, he was also filled with worry.

The once radiant Profound Thunder Sword now appeared dim, its spirituality sowhat damaged!

It turned out the power of the previous strike slightly exceeded the Profound Thunder Sword’s capacity, causing it damage!

"Although this move’s power is strong, the cost is quite great!"

"I can’t have the Profound Thunder Sword lose spirituality every ti I use this move, or it won’t be long before the sword is rendered useless!"

"It seems early enhancent of this sword to a High-Grade Magical Treasure is necessary. I wonder if Daoist Brother Tianci can secure those materials." Zhou Xun thought to himself.

At this ti, Erniu flew over, eyes full of shock,

’The power of this strike is sothing even he couldn’t reach right now; brother is truly remarkable!’

"Congratulations, brother, on mastering the third layer of the Sword Shadow Unification Technique!"

"Haha, I owe much to you, Erniu!" Zhou Xun laughed heartily, glad to have gained another Nascent Soul-level technique.

"Brother is too kind!"

After finishing the practice, Zhou Xun returned to True Monarch Tianci’s Cave Mansion,

Unfortunately, Thunder Attribute Tier Four materials are extrely rare, even True Monarch Tianci couldn’t acquire them despite reaching out to friends.

"It seems I will have to set my sights on the auction a year from now!" Zhou Xun pondered.

In the following ti, Zhou Xun stayed at True Monarch Tianci’s Cave Mansion, sotis cultivating, other tis seeking out Wang Erniu to discuss Sword Dao techniques.

He occasionally accompanied True Monarch Tianci on visits to friends, making acquaintances with many True Monarch Nascent Souls,

Sotis seeking advice from True Monarch Pill Origin on alchemy, or discussing the Talisman Making Dao with True Monarch Tianci,

Occasionally he even followed Wang Erniu on outings outside the city to discuss and battle Demon Beasts.

Half a year flew by like this.

During this half-year, Zhou Xun’s skills in various techniques soared, Talisman Making and Alchemy skills approached the Tier Three High Grade,

Inside the Cultivation Room, in front of Zhou Xun, was a Pill Furnace with Spiritual Fire surging beneath,

Suddenly—

an exotic fragrance wafted,

imdiately Zhou Xun shifted his spell, striking at the Pill Furnace!

In a mont, three milky-white elixirs flew out.

"This is the Sound Transmission Talisman I have sent out!"

In Zhou Xun’s mind, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator nad Master Profound Maple had co to visit,

This person was a steward from the Hundred Skills Comrce Alliance, and had sohow learned that Zhou Xun possessed Nascent Soul Pills, hence he was seeking to purchase from him,

However, Zhou Xun had plans for those three Nascent Soul Pills and had no intention of selling them, so he naturally refused,

"I didn’t expect him to be so insistent!"
